Derailment near White City Station
"Roland Perry" wrote in message ... In message , juvenal writes http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/3704101.stm It said the White City train derailed at a set of points undergoing routine maintenance where a 20 mile-an-hour speed restriction was in place. But we don't get a headline of: "Huge success: Safety Precaution works as it was designed to". Of course we don't. In the same way a report on a pile up on the M1 doesn't have the headline "Airbags deploy and prevent more serious injuries". The train shouldn't have derailed and the fact that there was a speed restriction is a negative thing because it shows that it happened despite the knowledge that there was a fault in the area.
